Skillcrush is on the hunt for a Head of Content Marketing to join our team! This is a full-time, mid-level role for someone with a strong background in content marketing strategy, content creation, and leading a team of content professionals.

As Head of Content Marketing at Skillcrush, you’ll be in charge of making sure our content attracts, engages, and informs our customers and, ultimately, increases conversions. This means you’ll craft strategy and oversee the creation, distribution, and optimization of all marketing content in close collaboration with the Director of Marketing and the content marketing team.

You’re a good fit for this role if you have a deep understanding of how to create and promote effective content and if you have experience setting and reaching content marketing goals. You should have a proven track record in developing content strategy and moving it from plan to execution. And you should believe in – and be comfortable using – data and analysis for showing the success of content performance and using it to shape strategy.

This position will require you to be familiar with (and sometimes take part in) the work of the content creation team and to effectively lead, manage, and develop them in using the right messages and methods to reach our ideal audience. You’ll need to constantly stay on top of what our audience is interested in and be able to help the team come up with relevant content that promotes our brand consistently across all channels. You should also be ready to develop thorough knowledge of all of our content assets and assist the team in identifying new content needed and ways to repurpose current content.

Our ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment, while contributing to our positive and supportive culture. Additional experience at a digital, product-driven, consumer company is strongly preferred but not required.
